Troldtekt v-line is cutting edge T


roldtekt’s award-winning ‘design solutions’ range has been extended with the addition of the new


v-line variant.


v-line 1way and v-line 2way both comprise panels with either 6 or 10 longitudinal grooves milled into the surface of standard 25 mm Troldtekt panels. The v-line 2 has the addition of transverse grooves every 1,200 mm where the ends of the panels meet


giving an added character to the pattern on the ceiling and the ability to create more intricate designs. Cut into a V shape, the grooves in the panels have a more discreet look than that of the traditional deeper-cut offerings in the ‘design solutions’ range which are more pronounced and distinctive and use a thicker 35 mm panel.


The ability to have milled lines in a classic,


thinner Troldtekt panel means they are easy to handle and competitively priced but still have the same aesthetic and visual appeal. They are a perfect accompaniment for retail, office and residential environments where acoustics need to be controlled.

Platon Comfort combats damp and sound for wooden flooring


The Platon Comfort membrane, from Triton Systems, offers a range of benefits in new-build or retrofit situations when installing timber or laminate flooring over concrete as well as screeded surfaces, giving lasting protection. Recently re-launched by the Kent based company to emphasise the cushioning effect of the dynamic studs on the underside of the ultra-slim cavity membrane, Platon Comfort is simply loose laid direct onto the substrate to prevent moisture transmission when the relative humidity remains as high as 95%. In fact it can be installed as soon as fresh concrete is dry enough to walk on and avoids the need to include a foam undelay. As well as delivering three times the water vapour resistance of conventional film products, Platon Comfort achieves an impact sound reduction of 17-19 dB as the specially profiled studs absorb load. The underlayer is also compatible with electric as well as conventional underfloor heating systems. Significantly, the studs create an air gap beneath the 0.5 mm continuous polypropylene membrane which facilitates the natural drying process for concrete, while weighing just 450 g/m2 and increasing the total build height by only 2.5 mm. Supplied in rolls of 1.0 x 20 metres, Platon Comfort is easy to lay, needing just scissors or a knife to cut, along with a roll of Triton’s Platon Comfort Tape to complete the joints before installing insulation, timber flooring or a low-voltage UFH system.

Steel in the home continues to dominate in the home fashion stakes. And, with advice from the Steel Window Association, homeowners can enjoy plenty of options if they want the look! The most common use of steel windows in bathrooms is to create shower screens; not only are they are an excellent replacement for shower curtains, the stylish design also allows plenty of light to enter the shower space. Another great way to bring steel into the bathroom is to use them as an internal partition between bedrooms and ensuites. They offer a


stunning yet simple way to establish a seamless transition between the bedroom and bathroom, which lets plenty of light between the two rooms and can open up the bedroom to give the appearance of more space.
